The committee consists of three chairs: sophomore ll Will Coffman, Director of University Health Services l Dr. Jane Horton, and Physics Professor Tom Williams, . all recommended by Dean of Students David Howison 1 and approved by President Elrod. The members will 4 address the problem of alcohol at Washington and Lee *" and make policy recommendations to the admir1istra— tion. Howison said he thinks the inclusion of the differ- ent university community members will produce pro- ‘. ductive solutions. “The idea is to bring students, faculty, and staff p members together to address what is clearly a major 5 problem at W&L,” Howison said. I’ Howison said he deliberately chose chairs from each ; I of these three groups, and that he has high hopes for t the committee. 3 “I chose the people I did because they’re all re- spected members of the university community and care very much about this issue,” he said, adding that other 3" ll members will be chosen later. The task force, originally Horton’s idea, had been in the planning stages for months. University Health Edu- cator Jan Kaufman said the announcement came early 1 because of the recent deaths of W&L students Adam Burchett and Kristin Shelton in a car accident.

Singapore Airlines has accepted full responsibility for the accident, and announced a compensation of close to $400,000 per victim to “help families through this terrible period by of- fering compensation without delay,” as a Singapore Airlines spokesman put it. The airport authorities explained that the pilot went on to a runway marked “5R—23L ” rather than “SL-23R,” due to bad visibility and weather. The runway was closed off and covered with equipment, some of which the plane hit as it tried to take off. Before last week’s accident, Singapore Airlines had never had a deadly crash in its 28-year history. In 1997, a plane oper- ated by its subsidiary, SilkAir, crashed in Indonesia, killing 104 passengers and crew members. Ebola Virus spreads The death toll in Uganda’s Ebola outbreak went up to 90 on Saturday, as three more people succumbed to the easily trans- rriitted and extremely deadly virus. The deaths were in Gulu, in northern Uganda, where the outbreak begun. Recently, how- Tl-TISS VVEEK ever, a soldier recently died of the disease in Mbarara, towards the south, confirming fears that the government had not been able to stop the virus from spreading. Meanwhile health workers disinfected coffins before they were buried, and people in Gulu stopped shaking hands and wore facemasks to work. The virus in Uganda has been identified as Ebola Sudan, which was first discovered in Sudan in 1979. Ebola, which is spread by bodily contact, can cause severe hemorrhagic fever and is often fatal. The virus’s early symptoms are similar to those of flu and upset stomach —— a parallel that has led to many false reports. No one knows where the virus lives between outbreaks or how the first person in an outbreak contracts it. Palestinian/Israeli peace talks proceed Authority President Yasser Arafatand Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak should arrive in Washington, D.C. this Thursday for further talks with U.S. President Bill Clinton. This announcement comes after five weeks of Mid Eastern violence, which killed 185, all but 17 of whom were Palestinians or other Arabs. These proposed peace talks derive from the recent Egyptian summit in Sharm el—Sheikh. Since that emergency summit, for weeks Clinton has been trying to hold meetings with Arafat and Barak. - ' 1 Dan Meridor, head of the Israeli Foreign Defense Committee, , told CNN that Arafat must make a public call for Palestinians to stop their violent protests.

Kaufman added that although the university has used task forces in previous years to deal with the alcohol issue, she has higher expectations of this one. “Education alone is not the answer. . . I hope this [task force] will be one of action,” she said. According to the annual Winter Term stu- dent surveys on alcohol use, Horton said that the mission of the task force will not be deter- mining whether or not there is a problem, but on solving an existing one. “We have data showing that there is definitely a DuPont displays By Alison Trinidad STA FF WRITER Washington and Lee Professor of Art Larry Stene is going to change the way we look at photographs. “I Digitizied This: Transformed Images,” Stene’s photo exhibit, opened Friday evening in duPont Gallery, where it will remain on display until Dec. 8. “This is cool,” Southern Virginia College junior Kristin Newell said. “This is stuff I like.” Newell attended the opening reception after hear- ing about it from her art professor. “It’s taking [photography] to a new level,” she said. . Using prints taken from both digital and 35mm film cameras, Stene stretches color, texture, and aes- thetic norms with Adobe Photoshop, image editing software known for its assortment of painting, re- touching, and special effect tools. The exhibit showcases 41 of his digitally—altered photographs. Stene also uses Photoshop in his classes, believ- ing the software gives students who lack technical skill, but not vision, a chance to produce art. The hardest thing for him, he said, is to let go of the mouse and give someone else creative control. Stene’s images reflect the life that he has lived, said his wife, Greer Stene. “We both grew up [in Minnesota] just look- ing at birch trees, in everyone’s yard, on all the lakes and everything, so we planted birch trees in our own yard,” she said. “Those are our birch trees.” I Birch or Birches? is Stene’s daughter Alexis’s" 1 favorite work in the exhibit.

The task force is not the only course of action being taken by the administration.

Several of the displayed pieces feature Alexis and her two older sisters. Tom Murphy, ‘85, will likely buy one of these pieces, My Little Girl Alex. “I knew Alex when she was just that age,” he said, “but beyond the sentimental reasons, I think that [the picture] is beautifully composed.” As a work-study for the art department, Murphy met Stene when he joined the faculty in 1982. He now owns about 15 of Stene’s works. “Stene can build anything.” he said. “The man wields and does woodwork. He can really, literally, build anything.” Although the medium may change, Murphy thinks that Stene’s use of color and dimension re- mains constant. “But I’ve been a fan of Larry’s from the very be- ginning,” he said. “I think that he’s an outrageously ta1ented’artist:”‘ H “Me too,” Greer Stene added.

This election ‘ is largely a choice between fresh, progressive conserva- tive ideas for smaller government and at faster-growing . economy or tired, bankrupt, tax—and-spend liberal plans '1 I for bigger government and will decide the course of our country for decades. Fortunately for you, every Ameri- 1 can, and the rest of the free or yearning-to-be-free world, Republican candidate George Walker Bush, Governor of Texas, will ‘win, probably by a landslide. The single biggest reason that W, as well as Republicans around the country, will win big, is that the Republican base ‘ is galvanized and excited like it hasn’t been since 1980. We arehungry for a victory, eager to eject the corrupt Clinton administration from the White House, and can’t wait to vote. The GOP faithful will assail the voting booths tomorrow and ’ g pull the levers for Bush in huge numbers. Conversely, the Democratic base couldn’t care less about this election. Al Gore is a good number two man. He knows all the facts and figures and_is always ready to play the sycophantic sidekick. He has been unable to energize ‘ traditional Democratic constituencies and has struggled to mobilize urban voters who are key to Gore victory in Pennsylvania,'Florida, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. As proof, » Gore and Bush spent the last week in pretty much the same 1 r states, California, Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Wiscon- sin, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Florida, and Missouri. All of these states should have been sewn up by the Democratic nominee long ago. The fact that Bush has even a chance in any of these traditional liberal and union strong- 1 holds is testament to the fact that Democrats just don’t get excited about Gore.

The girlfriend then assaults the poor guy with the obvious proposition and he is given an hour to decide whether or not he wants to get married. The folks at Fox are not wholly cruel, however, they offer the guy a phone call to anybody he wants — with a catch. The phone call is televised and can only last thirty seconds. The conversations went mostly along the lines of “Hi . ‘Geena’ asked me to marry her on national television in Las Vegas, what should I do? . . . no, I am not pulling your chain. . . no, I am not drunk either . . . nobody put me up to this. . .

Well that’s a tough choiw,flsfi i“gs u I good thing that the folks at FOX gave you an hour and a 30 second phone call to decide. ' ' _ To me, and don’t get me wrong, I am not by any means comparable to Mr. Kirwan in my conservative views on marriage; this seems morally reprehen- sible. Marriage, at least in the United States, is supposed to happen for two reasons: Two people love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together or one of the two people is pregnant. Even though some women do many old guys for money, at least the old guys are getting their money’s worth, they know exactly what they are getting into, and they don’t advertise it. Mar- riage shouldn’t be about pleading, deceit, media attention, or two-minute cer- emonies — it should be about love or at least really, really great sex. Those marriages willvbe lucky if they last longer than a year, let alone “forever and ever.” Of course, that works for FOX, too.
